DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WILL NOT OPERATE. NOTIFICATION ON PANEL SAYS "UNLOCK DOOR TO OPERATE" EVEN THOUGH ALL DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND PASSENGERS CAN NOT ESCAPE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PAST THIRD GEAR. WAS LEAVING DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND IT WOULDN'T CHANGE PAST 3RD GEAR. HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET PART FOR 5 MONTHS

THE PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR, MAKES A VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE ANYTIME I LOCK OR UNLOCK IT. IT ALSO DOES NOT ACTUALLY LOCK, YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR WHILE IT'S LOCKED AND IT WILL SET OFF THE ALARM.

I APPROACHED MY CAR AND HIT THE BUTTON ON MY REMOTE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. I PLACED MY ITEMS IN THE CAR AND PUSHED THE DOOR CLOSE BUTTON. I DROVE TO MY DESTINATION AND WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO RETRIEVE MY ITEMS THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. I HAVE TRIED USING THE REMOTE, THE BUTTON IN THE CAR & MANUALLY OPENING. THE DOOR SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WILL NOT OPEN. MY HUSBAND HAS TRIED ALL OF THE ABOVE AND CHECKED THE FUSES TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T JUST A BLOWN FUSE. MY DOOR IS NOW STUCK CLOSED AND I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR ALL THE TIME. NOW I AM WORRIED IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED.

DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STARTED MAKEING A BUZZING NOISE WHEN YOU WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK DOOR AFTER A FEW DAYS THE DOOR LOCK FAILED, AND NOW I CANT OPEN DOOR MANUALLY OR REMOTELY. THEY NEED A RECALL, MINE AIN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS BROKEN, LOOK IT UP YOU'LL FIND MORE COMPLAINTS!

VEHICLE PULSES WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS, GOOGLE SHOWS A RECALL S44, FOR TRANSAXLE OIL PUMP. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY OPERATOR THAT IT DOES SHOW UP IN THE SERVICE NOTIFICATION. SO I CALLED DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT, AND WAS TOLD IT'S NOT A RECALL. SO I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN, GOT A DIFFERENT OPERATOR, WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE ALSO SEES IT IN THE SERVICE NOTIFICATION, SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO THEM, PATCHED ME THROUGH TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT, AND DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED, AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BUZZES LOUDLY WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE VAN, OR THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB.

PASSENGER NON-POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. CANNOT UNLOCK UNLESS YOU USE FOB WHILE HOLDING THE LOCK LEVER IN THE UNLOCK POSITION. THIS IS NOT SAFE IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE LOCK ALSO BUZZES EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ALL DOORS HAD BEEN UNLOCKED BY THE KEYFOB. *TR

MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT MOVE BACK TO UNLOCK. THE KEY FAB, THE DOME BUTTON, NOT THE DOOR HANDLE WILL MOVE THE LOCK POSITION TO OPEN THE DOOR. I NOTICED IT AFTER I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. IT HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED AND THEN SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING IT.
